November 3rd

Well…it was a pretty nice day yesterday with getting a good bike ride in and having a nice HH with T….slept okay lat night, too, but wasn’t good so I am feeling it today but that’s okay…my back didn’t even have a twinge of pain yesterday and that was so weird after having pain for more than a month…and my car started again yesterday morning so I am edging to thinking that it may be fixed…and that takes a load off….even had the top down on the run over to see T so I have my top down day in for November already….I used my new credit card for the first time to pay for HH with T and the credit rebuild begins…not much to do today….just going to wing it for the day…I do want to do a bleach load of laundry today to get some whites white again but that is about it…more later….

November 2nd

Well…running normally for a Thursday and that means a little later…had a pleasant surprise this morning when the car fired right up and it looks like there is no problem with voltage drain…it was just that the battery had not been charged enough….and the trip out and back to pool took care of that…and that takes a load off for sure…slept okay last night but slept on my right side that left a weird line in my face that I hope will go away as the day goes on…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…I did get a bike ride in and it was too darn cold….didn’t get warm the rest of the day…looks like I’ll have to get the winter clothes out next week…but it is already warmer now at 8am than it was all day yesterday so, if the rain holds off, I’ll get a ride in as soon as the sun comes up….I do have some things to do today…already got the grocery run done…and got some of the biggest chicken breasts I have ever seen…I mean 3 of them weigh almost 5 pounds? I may have HH with T this aft and it will be good to see her if it happens….haven’t seen her since a week before SD and that is too long…more later….

November 1st

Well..another month starts and I am not ready for it to snow….slept okay last night even with being good and that is unusual…even had some dreams where I had hair and I don’t know what that is about….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but some laundry and running the dishwasher so I’ll have to do more today….I do have to get out to get some milk this morning and I think I’ll buy a paper, too…sure hope the car starts….almost bought a coffee maker the other day and I think I will in the near future….they are only 20 bucks but Tom had the idea of getting a french press like my son uses but they are almost what a coffee maker costs…and I like the idea of setting it up the night before and having the coffee ready in the morning….not much to do today….going to have to wait to get out on the bike until later since it won’t warm up enough until around noon….more later….

Last one for the month….

Well….it was one of those weird days today when I had expectations an they didn’t pan out…no turkey at Target, no wipers at Menards, and no HH with T…so it ended up being pretty boring today that I think I needed…was just damn exhausted all day and I’m not sure why….took the day off the bike, too, since I just couldn’t take the snow….and rain…and cold…but, tomorrow will be different…at least the car started in the morning but I’m still not sure about it and that uncertainty is a little stressful….okay…this one is done as the month is….not bad…but it all starts again tomorrow….and I am out of milk….

Some new stuff….

Well…it’s 9:24 and I’ve already been out to run errands and put gas in the car…found the last station that was still at $2.41 a gallon with the rest of them up to $2.69 already…so not a bad deal to save 28 cents a gallon and now I have a month’s worth of gas in the car…I did check another Target for turkeys and they didn’t have them either so I’m a little irritated….I may go back to the one by me and bitch a little…I want some cheap turkey! Oh, the car started like normal today but I won’t know if it’s okay until I let it set for more than a day without starting it….I am really hoping that it was just that it wasn’t charged enough….I am going to come back for a political one later today to cap off the month…even though I’m over by a bunch for the month…more later….

October 31st

Well…on time today and don’t feel too bad so maybe that is a good thing….slept okay last night and had some weird dreams and that was cool…but, I lost at pool yesterday but it was nice to get out of here…still having problems with the car and that is going to need to be fixed but not right now….the dreaded snow is on my phone this morning when I checked the weather and I know we’re getting to winter but I’m not ready for it yet….I did get out and get a huge ham yesterday and it is nice to have something different to eat….but I’ll probably tire of it before it’s gone…and that will leave a lot of it to make soup in the next couple of weeks….not much to do today…might meet up with T this aft for a couple but that only penciled in so I may be here to watch Man U in the champion’s league later….more later….

October 30th

Well…running a little early today and I think it’s from boredom….slept okay last night and feel okay today but a little slow….still feel like I have a cold but it’s not too bad….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but today looks a little busy with errands to run and then pool this aft….I did get a ride in and it was cold so I think I’ll start looking for my cold weather gear…I do need a new pair of gloves and I think I’ll try to find some this week….the rubber coating is falling off this pair and it has become sticky and that is annoying….I do need some different food other than the pork and pasta that I’ve been making…just so bored with that stuff that I am going to buy a turkey this morning and use the new credit card to do it…but that won’t help until it thaws later in the week so I’ll need to think of something else…more later….

Over 51,000 miles….

Well….it was damn cold on the bike today and I think I have found the lower limit of temp for going out in shorts at 41 degrees….and with the 400 miles I have put on the old bike since I started riding it again, I have gone over 20K miles on that bike, too…and with the 31,353 that I had on the other bike, that puts me over 51,000 miles that I have ridden bikes as an adult…and another weird fact is that, with the over 2,700 miles I have ridden this year so far, I am on track to ride my bike more miles than I have driven my car…and that has never happened before. Kinda strange….

October 29th

Well….running really late today and I just have been a little zoned out this morning….just finished the paper and I am on my 3rd cup of coffee so I am starting to get moving a little…going to have to wait until noon to get out on the bike since I still want to go out in shorts for at least another week…slept okay last night and didn’t get up until after 7 and that is really late for me…feel okay today and my back is not hurting at all…it has been cracking like crazy for the past day or so and that is a good sign….still feel like I may have a little bug…feel a little warm and my lungs are kind of itchy but I don’t feel that bad…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same…the Lions play later and there are two races on at the same time so I’ll have something to do…more later….

October 28th

Well…trying to get things moving this morning before the Man U match but it looks like I won’t be successful….I did get some pork chops in the oven to cook low and slow today and it is already starting to smell good in here…slept okay last night but didn’t dream at all but I won’t bitch too much about that…after all, my back is back to cracking and not hurting and that makes everything better….it is going to be a good sports day today starting now and going through Michigan at noon and then a race later from Martinsville….and it is cold and raining so I may stay off the bike today….need to get the ride in by 11 or I won’t go….not much to do today…I do need to do another one today with the news that the first indictments of trump and his cronies have been issued and the arrests are going to start next week…I can’t wait….
